Antipsychotics and seizures: Higher risk with atypicals? Almost all antipsychotics have been associated with a risk of epileptic seizure provocation. Among the first-generation antipsychotics (FGA) chlorpromazine appears to be associated with the greatest risk of seizures among the second-generation antipsychotics (SGA) clozapine is thought to be most likely to cause convulsions. This information is largely based on studies that are not sufficiently controlled.

DNA: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine & Complementary Base Pairing There are four nitrogenous bases found in DNA that are called guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine. They are abbreviated by the first letter in their name, or G, A, T and C.The bases can be divided into two categories: Thymine and cytosine are called pyrimidines, and adenine and guanine are called purines.he chemistry of the nitrogenous bases is really the key to the function of DNA. It allows something called complementary base pairing. You see, cytosine can form three hydrogen bonds with guanine, and adenine can form two hydrogen bonds with thymine. Or, more simply, C bonds with G and A bonds with T.

Antidepressants may elevate a person's mood so they are able to return to a normal life, but they do not necessarily address the cause of the depression, which is often psychological.
